User Problems...

My laptop has two users, I am able to connect to the Internet. But when my wife logs on, she cannot use the internet. How can I have the same settings for both of us?
Thanks in advance

    Just reinstall the connection software on that account but make sure you have temporarily set the account as an administrator or you wont be able to install the software.

    Yeah do that as you might not have had shared folders when the original
    install was carried out as she may of had a limited user account.
